Well, I’m only 11 days late re-capping last month this time. That’s better than 16 days late, right?! One day I’ll get it done within the first three days of the month, I can feel it!!! But until then…here are the top five posts for the month of May here at The Road to Domestication! (In no particular order.)
1. Cleaning by Week, Month & Year with Free Printables – Did you see this one? If you’re one of the ones who keeps “meaning to do some Spring Cleaning…” THIS POST IS FOR YOU!
2. My #1 Trick to Staying Organized – I really hope this one helped some of you who are feeling unorganized, as you always tell me!
3. How to Slice a Pineapple – I was absolutely amazed at how many people didn’t know how to slice a pineapple! So glad this post was able to help out!
4. Pinterest Project Presented – We all love Pinterest, but sometimes the things I find there are a little bit…unrealistic. So I wanted to share something that WORKED beautifully!
5. New Project Tryouts: Progresso Recipe Starters – I was excited to be able to share a new product with everyone in this post! Have YOU tried Progresso Recipe Starters yet?
All in all, May was a great month! And I’m excited about the rest of June, too!
What was your favorite post out of the top 5?

The stain removal process was by far my favorite! I have yet to try it and am hoping I do not need it!-Hum-maybe it would work on coffee stains on a carpet?
Ooo, I don’t know! But let me know if it works!
I love all of your posts and I especially like when you share your free printables!
Thanks, Alli! I do love a good printable! 🙂
Can I just come live at your house, Kristen? It sounds like you’re an amazing home manager!
HA! Well, we do have a spare bedroom LOL
i actually bought the supplies to clean my couch because of your post. I am planning on doing it this weekend.
Oh, awesome! I hope it works beautifully for you!
#1 and #2 are right up my alley. All I’ve done at our house is change the curtains.
Oh, that’s funny! I JUST ordered some curtains for the living room today! LOL
I’ve sliced a pineapple before but this really helped!
Oh, I’m glad, Kathy!
Great tips and ideas Kristen!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Joan!
Your month was quite busy! All good information that you shared.
Yes, quite busy! Thanks, Shirley!
You also reminded me that I actually wanted to plant a pineapple after reading your post. Keep up the good work!
Oh, good! I’m interested to see how it works out for you, Anna!
I liked the pineapple one.I really do not know where this year is going to it has been going so fast.
I know, I can’t believe we’re halfway through 2014 now! What in the world?!
I loved the pineapple bit too!
I’m glad, Sophie!
The stain removal was my favorite. I missed the pineapple one though. Going to go check that one out now!
Great, Theresa! Thanks for checking it out! 🙂
This was very helpful, It is surprising how there are many people who don’t know how to cut a pineapple.
Very true! I guess most don’t need to know when you can get them canned or fresh already sliced!
I have lots of favorites but was wishing you were with me over the weekend at the Grocery store!! Our local Stop n Shop offered 40cents/gal savings for purchasing 5 of the Progresso Recipe starters (I bought 15 packages), but.. I must have walked up and down those danged aisles 5 times before I finally found them in the ‘promo’ aisle. HAHA.. I was thinking.. ‘where’ did Kristen say they’d be??? Do I have her phone #?? can I text her??!! Oh, back to the review.. I haven’t cooked with them yet but bought 3 different flavors (yes, 5 of each) and will keep you posted for sure! (bonus: I earned $1.20/gal savings from those little packages!)
HA!!! You are so funny! I DID have to look for them at first LOL But mine ended up being by the soups. Was that where yours were? Glad you got such a deal!
I like your organization methods. With girls running all round, it is very importing to stay organized as much as I can.
I’ll bet!
I love all of these especially the cutting of the pineapple. When I saw the post the first time I gave it a try and my family was happy we can buy fresh pineapples now. I was so intimidated by it before.
Oh, good! I’m so glad it worked for you!
that stain removal post is still one of my favorites. Great recap.
Thanks, Becca! (I have to do that one again – I’ve found another stain! I guess stains are a constant battle, right?)
All are great posts. I like the one about stain removal — very helpful.
I’m glad you enjoyed, Helene! Thanks!
Looks like a great month with a lot of informative posts. I can not wait until we get moved so I can plant another pineapple, I had to leave mine that was over a year old in Florida.
Well, maybe you could start it in a pot? Kinda hard to move still, though…
Very productive week!! I love the printable, Very cute and useful!
Thanks, Maria!
I just made a filing system. The trick is remember to USE it! Ha!
True! They say if you do something for 30 days in a row it becomes habit, right? (Or is it 3 weeks? I can’t remember…)
I always enjoy your organizational tips. I stink at that!
I’m sure you just have more important things on your mind, Liz! 🙂
Looks like a great month in May and some great posts. June holds great promise for you
I sure hope so! Thank you!
Great and useful posts as always 🙂
Thanks, Sahana!
Great posts. Thanks for sharing. I love the printables one!
Thanks, Amanda! I do love a good printable!
I could have used #3 a couple of months ago when I had the great idea to buy a pineapple then had to spend a bunch of time looking for youtube videos on how to cut it up.
Oh, YouTube videos! I didn’t even look there, that’s a good idea!
The stain cleaning post is my favorite. I have a big heart pillow (Valentine’s Day gift from hubby years ago) that has a spot on it (from my 6yr old, I presume 😉 ). It’s microfiber and I think I’ll give that one a try!
I hope it works beautifully for you, Rosey!
The cleaning post and free printable I’m just a sucker for those as lately I been trying to pull my apartment together to make it kid friendly while the kids are out of school for the summer my daughter had her last day yesterday and so far I manage to go to a rare genetic disorder meeting and that was all I got done.
Well, give yourself some time! You have a whole new schedule to get used to!
I grew up as a missionary kid in Africa and we had fresh pineapple every single day!!! They are my favorite fruit. =) I slice them a bit differently but along the same lines as your post. Hopefully that post will help people feel more brave and ready to buy a fresh pineapple! Much cheaper that way rather than buying the slices!! =)
You’ve got that right, Amber!
As I’m redecorating my house these are definitely some tips for me to take into consideration. I’ve already thrown out many bags of garbage in my quest to get organized.
Then you are well on your way! Great work!
Now those are awesome – something we all can look forward to!
Thanks, Aisha!
i think having a schedule for cleaning is important. Also the pineapple cutting is a good trick.
Definitely agree with you on the cleaning schedule! Thanks for your comment!
